The Tropical Disease Hospital Central 4-infected people are treated swine streptococcus bacteria - a bacterial disease of the body is blue ear pig disease caused.
"Insufficient" for PRRS in pigs?

This information is Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, director of Tropical Disease Hospital, said the Central Steering Committee at a meeting of national control pandemic influenza in the afternoon took place 28 / 4 at the Ministry of Health.

Of the four patients infected with Streptococcus pigs were treated with 2 cases of severe, must support ventilator. Symptoms of high fever (above 40 degrees C), diarrhea, urinating less and patches appear on the skin hemorrhagic necrosis.

The disease has three forms: latex meningitis, septicemia, or simultaneously with both types of complications just mentioned.

If not promptly treated patients may have blood clots, multi organ failure, liver failure, kidney failure, lung failure and death.

Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, said: those who are infected by eating the blue ear pig disease or undercooked food contaminated with Streptococcus in processing and preservation. Nearly a week, each day the hospital received three cases of symptomatic infection Streptococcus visit.
According to medical research, blue ear disease in the body exists only in pigs. This disease as immunodeficiency, causing other diseases in rapidly growing pigs, in which evidence for Streptococcus infection. Health Ministry warned people to drink boiled and cooked food, wash your hands frequently to prevent diseases. /.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific has had six suspected cases infected swine streptococcus. Initially, the patients who often mistake the symptoms of this disease often experience fever.When taken to hospital, most patients are in a state of liver, kidney.

Mr. Ha Ngoc An, 52, stay consistent in Dong Hoa commune, Thai Binh city, is one of the suspected infected swine streptococcus, entered the Pacific Hospital in critical condition. My doctor Pham Tien, dean of infectious Pacific Hospital, the direct treatment for patients transferred to hospital in serious condition, coma, bleeding ...

After active treatment, patients who escape from danger, but his health is very weak An, rash, blood clots in humans. Mr. Ha Duy Lam, An said his brother, before he can eat more soup in an restaurant.
Reality has shown, the local blue ear epidemic often appears swine streptococcus infect humans. Pacific is the ninth province in the country PRRS. Without advocacy measures, recommended for people, the risk of an outbreak of swine streptococcus infect humans will be enormous.http://vovnews.vn/Home/Phat-hien-nhi...104/142252.vov

There are also four cases treated, of which two patients have severe breathing machine.


Persons suffering from streptococcus swine have three forms: meningitis pus, sepsis or both on form. If the infected person is detected early and treated promptly will help reduce the risk of infection and shock treatment easier, less expensive. Dear Dr. warning, before the disease situation in cattle complicated, people, especially people in the area to be very alert service, make eating cooked, hot drinks, absolutely not slaughter and eat pig disease. http://www.nhandan.com.vn/tinbaidada...article=173553

Matched patients infected with swine Streptococcus


Wednesday, 28/04/2010 - 17:08

(AP) - There are four patients infected with swine streptococcus bacteria are located in the treatment of tropical diseases institute countries, including two severe cases have ventilation. Experts warn, disease spread from pigs to humans through the digestive tract, so everyone should drink boiled cooked.
Information on the Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, Director of Institute of tropical diseases in the country for briefings and disease prevention in humans, occurred pm 27 / 4 in Hanoi.

According to Dr. Glass, the last few days, each day in hospital a few cases show a swine streptococcus infection to health, but identified four new infections and patients are being treated. "This four patients scattered in different localities are translated on the situation. Therefore, we can say, not a disease epidemic, but people need to be aware with this disease, because this is a disease transmitted from pigs to humans, can cause dangerous patient mortality, "said Dr. Glass .

When pigs infected with streptococcus bacteria, infected people can have an expression in three patients are simply latex meningitis, sepsis alone or in combination of both types. Cases swine Streptococcus disease can cause meningitis combination of latex and sepsis, a very serious disease manifestations, may lead to shock, bleeding under the skin of each major segment, leading to rapid coagulation, multiple organ failure and death.

Therefore, it is important to early diagnosis and timely to the hospital for treatment. When pigs infected with streptococcus bacteria, the disease has manifested high fever, can get to 40-41 degrees C accompanied by gastrointestinal manifestations are diarrhea, or more expression encephalitis syndrome, respiratory syndrome and especially there are large segments of bleeding under the skin necrosis. When there are signs on, the patient needs to hospital immediately for medical treatment in time.

Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga, Director of Preventive Health (MOH) said, this is not a new disease, has previously seen and reported. To prevent this disease, patients should best perform cooked hot drink, not absolute slaughter and consumption of pigs is manifested sick, sick.http://dantri.com.vn/c7/s7-393104/xu...-khuan-lon.htm

Re: Vietnam- At least 4 cases of swine streptococcus in humans

Appeared more infections from pigs to people
RFA 04.28.2010
Tropical Hanoi hospital from a week received two cases of suspected Streptococcus disease spread from pigs to humans.


We have four patients in this case being treated here.

Dr Ly Ngoc Kinh, director of tropical disease hospital said the cause of this infection may be caused by eating infected pork that has not been cooked or eat blood pudding or contact with blood or secretions of the pig injury or disease through inhalation.

Still he said Glass, Streptococcus disease spread from pigs to humans will cause septicemia, meningitis, or both types of latex at the same time.

Blue ear pig, has spread across six northern provinces, with nearly two thousand swine disease in Gia Lam district, is now in danger of spreading to Central.

According to medical research, blue ear disease does not infect humans but can reduce immunity where pigs and other diseases which cause swine to develop, in which Streptococcus can spread to humans.

While the phenomenon of children hand foot and mouth disease increased in Ho Chi Minh City. News from Children's Hospital two weeks ago that the hospital every day to receive one to three children with hand, foot and mouth disease, but step through this week, more than three dozen cases a day to visit with children hospitalized due to illness .http://www.rfa.org/vietnamese/Vietna...010095821.html

Re-emerging diseases in the swine streptococcus

(ANTD) - Along with being blue ear epidemic outbreaks in some northern provinces recently, started a record number of patients with streptococcus swine. The health sector should recommend people alert to the reappearance of this disease.

The disease spread from pigs to humans

28-4 pm, Dr Nguyen Van Kinh - Director of the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, said this week, each day the hospital receives some cases to diagnose and treat the symptoms of swine streptococcus. Patients mainly from the provinces are blue ear epidemic outbreaks such as Hanoi, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, **** Yen ... Currently, in four hospital patients still infected swine streptococcus infections are treated, in including 2 cases of emergency and severe ventilator right. Although not yet in service but the reappearance of the disease after several years do not record any cases that the health sector as well as people worried.

Dr. Glass said, patients suspected swine streptococcus hospitalized with symptoms of high fever (above 40 degrees C), dyspnea, diarrhea, skin patches appear hemorrhagic necrosis, liver failure ... Through this Initial epidemiological investigations, most of the previously infected cases have contact with infected pigs, swine meat, using food from the pigs have not been processed carefully, especially the pig blood pudding. This is also consistent with the cause of this disease in humans in previous years, by swine streptococcus disease caused by a bacterium spread from pigs to humans through the digestive tract (food).

Begin by noting mouth disease in northern limb

Besides swine streptococcus disease, this time in the northern provinces have begun to appear the patients mouth limbs, mainly in subjects patients. Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, said the disease thrive in the summer, in hot weather.
If treated late, the disease causes dangerous complications such as meningitis, pulmonary edema, myocarditis. Therefore, if the child has manifested as fussy, sleep, panic or startle more shaky, weak limbs, unsteadiness, wobbled, rapid progression to seizures, dyspnea, respiratory failure, vasomotor disorder ... then quickly taken to the medical facility for examination and treatment.

In this regard, Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga - Department of Preventive Medicine, said that there is no evidence of the occurrence of patient-related streptococcus swine blue ear epidemic, but can confirm certain disease-related problems do not use food to ensure food safety.In the coming time, when the North into the summer, food safety issues became hot over, again with blue ear epidemic is complicated risk that an outbreak of swine streptococcus disease in humans is very large .

Cooked to avoid disease

Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, said patients suffering from swine Streptococcus usually have three types of latex as meningitis, septicemia, or even two on the form. If detected early, treatment is simple and inexpensive for this type of pathogenic bacteria are sensitive to antibiotics.
However, because this disease does not have long to process and propagate the knowledge of people on limited disease, patients often do not detect the disease even when a doctor but the symptoms are very clear. With this disease, if detected and treated late, the disease is dangerous complications and high mortality risk.

Worth noting that the bacteria cause inflammation of pigs die in bridge high temperatures, so if the food is cooked is safe. Dear Dr. warning, before the disease situation in cattle complicated, people, especially people in the blue ear epidemic areas to be very vigilant to ensure cooked meals, hot drinks, absolutely no slaughter and eat swine. http://www.anninhthudo.vn/Tianyon/In...26&ChannelID=5

Nom submitted lo blue ear pig. FMD outbreak in cattle ear mark green
(24h) -

At the outbreak of blue ear pig it is still selling as usual. Even to avoid trouble they are fake pork beef.
Although the blue ear is at risk of outbreak, but the outbreak is in 5 communes in Gia Lam District, Hanoi, reporters still recorded surreptitiously selling status pork no quarantine, while staff at commune veterinary checkpoints are drunk ... sleep.



Selling pork no quarantine at the commune near the outbreak.

Selling pork "disguise" with beef ...

7 am on 28 / 4, reporters present at the candy, Kim Son commune, Gia Lam District, Hanoi. The sales counters are not sold pork. But when we asked to buy, many sellers are asking is can not buy much, if any, then wait a moment, they will bring, because there is a ban, should not be shown publicly.



The sale of pork at the market stalls are clean glue smooth, but hard questions will be "found."

"From 13-19/4/2010, translation appears at Kim Son commune, Central Color, Duong Quang, Le Thi Chi and Phu Gia Lam district of 370 infected pigs and 320 pigs were destroyed." - Criticism of the Department of Animal Health Report.

One man named V, after 20 minutes, brought to us than a balance of pork, for $ 60 thousand dong. Earlier, a different salesman said: "It is forbidden to hang we'll have to head to sell dog meat," pretended to a little beef here, but if anyone asked to buy pork from the new home carry out. " Ms. V. also revealed: "2 am, we have had to transport meat to urban markets in the sale, to avoid quarantine."

Veterinary Social busy ... Village Assembly, District Veterinary journalists not to

9 am, correspondent to the checkpoints before the port village located Ghost Master (Kim Son commune) are not seen anyone except a man ... sleep. Ask people nearby to know, who has five drills, but perhaps they are busy at the moment, because "today is the village meeting."

We came to see the person in charge of the social animal health, but staff said he also is ... busy by joining the village festival. Before that, along with four other villages, Kim Son has appeared on 17-4 green ear, destroying more than 300 pigs.

Previous events concern that reporters came to see Mr. Le Minh Dat, Tram station chief veterinary Gia Lam district, to inquire about the disease situation, but unfortunately difficult to understand and this was the station chief has refused to interest and provide information for ... busy (?!).

Pork without the widespread market quarantine

At Duong Xa Commune, communes are located next three service that still has shops selling pork, but found no sign of quarantine.

Reporters had to sell some regions this item in the inner city, but also found a similar situation. As Ms. Thanh, selling pork in Thanh Ha Street, Hoan Kiem District, said: "this meat she retrieved from Bac Ninh, very sure." However, no seal stamped on the quarantined items that she sold; more, Bac Ninh province also have green ear.

Even in a store at the rear Department of Animal Health - the headquarters of the animal epidemic prevention, we also discovered that pork is sold without the quarantine.



A butcher shop no sign of quarantine.

Previously, experts have advised people to buy meat marked with the quarantine, not eating infected meat, may be suffered as streptococcus, easily lead to death. http://us.24h.com.vn/tin-tuc-trong-n...46a293716.html

(Labor) - On 04/28, Dr. Nguyen Van Kinh - Director of the tropical diseases hospital nations - said the hospital is receiving scattered patients to examination swine Streptococcus.
These cases are currently in the local epidemic ear diseases such as Hanoi, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, **** Yen ...

We have four patients were treated, of which 2 have severe cases are ventilator. Epidemiological investigations showed that previous cases of pigs infected with streptococcus bacteria are exposed to infected pigs, swine meat, use less processed food carefully ...

It is known that when bacteria streptococcus swine attack humans will cause high fever, congestion occurs on the skin plate, encephalitis, pneumonia, liver failure, multiple organs failure, even death if not early treatment. Thus, patients infected with streptococcus bacteria is common in the possible meningitis and septicemia or can combine both diseases.

Blue ear pig virus is not spread directly to humans, but it will be localized in the respiratory tract of pigs, when a chance, especially when blue ear, they will grow and cause disease. People eating or contact with infected pigs will become infected.

According to Dr. Glass: The infected bacteria are very difficult to diagnose in the early manifestations of the disease is quite similar to the symptoms of common fever. So, after eating pork or pigs exposed to, if you see symptoms of high fever, headache, vomiting a lot, sore throat, the patient was admitted immediately to be tested and treated. http://www.laodong.com.vn/Home/Mien-...182796.laodong

Up to now, Cambodia has recorded 10 persons positive for H5N1, which has eight deaths. Translate thrive in some border provinces bordering Vietnam.

Before the actual situation, the Department of Preventive Medicine has written direct medical quarantine center at the international border provinces bordering Cambodia tight control disease evolution. Especially must coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Rural province controlled poultry trade between two countries, not for poultry diseases into our country.

Earlier, Prof., Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, said on the disease situation is rather complex evolution, especially the risk of cholera outbreaks have strong back, along with dengue fever, measles and respiratory diseases such as influenza A/H1N1, A/H5N1 influenza is difficult to foresee the end.

Warning Streptococcus epidemic spreading
(The Saigon Times)

Thoa Nguyen

(Online VNA) - Nearly a week now, every day tropical disease hospital in Hanoi to receive patients from 1-2 Streptococcus - a disease transmitted from pigs to humans. Among those who visit are four (including two very severe cases) being monitored and treated here.

Update on the Dr. Nguyen Van Kinh, Director of Institute of Tropical Diseases country, said at the briefings and disease prevention in humans, which took place in Hanoi, 28-4 pm.

Initial cause shown, these cases can result from eating undercooked pork disease, eat more soup or contact with blood, secretions of the pig through the wound in the skin, respiratory tract.

Dr. Glass said, Streptococcus disease spread from pigs to people, including three possible: septicemia, meningitis latex or a combination of both. According to him, is not a disease epidemic. New patients only scattered in the provinces are blue ear epidemic. However, the disease can be fatal if treated late.


Ear diseases are epidemic broke out in many provinces, so people need to be aware, preventative. According to medical research, blue ear disease does not infect humans. However, this patient immunocompromised, causing other diseases in rapidly growing pigs, including Streptococcus, which may spread disease to humans. The disease can be dangerous in that death rate (up to 70%) if treated late. Those infected may also die due to toxic bacterial infection, causing shock phenomenon.
Short incubation period, from several hours to 3 days. When signs of high fever (40.41 degrees C), the array appears as hemorrhagic necrosis of skin, diarrhea, stiff neck ... have trouble breathing, liver failure, kidney disease, then people should come hospital sooner, avoiding the risk of death.

When infected with streptococcus bacteria, infected people can have an expression in three patients are simply latex meningitis, sepsis alone or in combination of both types. Cases swine Streptococcus disease can cause meningitis combination of pus and blood infections that can lead to shock, bleeding under the skin of each major segment, leading to blood coagulation, multi-organ failure and death.

According to Nguyen Huy Nga, Director of Preventive Health (MOH), before the complicated situation of blue ear disease in pigs, to prevent the disease, the best people to make food cooked Hot drinks, absolutely no slaughter and consumption of pigs is manifested sick, sick. http://tintuc.xalo.vn/00-1867891379/..._lan_rong.html

"Season" green ear, many patients infected with swine Streptococcus

Friday, April 30, 2010


(AP) - After 17 days in hospital in coma due to mechanical ventilation were severe sepsis, shock body by pigs infected with streptococcus bacteria, the dimensions 29 / 4, Nguyen Van Huong (Pho Yen, Thai Nguyen) new Embroidered whispered voice.
> Xuất hiện bệnh nh?n nhiễm li?n cầu khuẩn lợn" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">

After 17 days active hospital treatment, the patient was out of danger by the new Perfume drama severe sepsis due to Streptococcus pigs (Photo: H. Hai)

More soup, spring rolls paste is dangerous
Affect not remember the last he is eating pig blood pudding day but sometimes I still eat. Just remember, noon 13 / 4, he suddenly sudden high fever, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea constantly. After being taken to the hospital family, Thai Nguyen, and then be transferred directly to the tropical disease institute national one day soon, people are tired tired, again with high fever, headache, especially in full body (especially the head, two arms, two legs) appear multiple deep red spots, necrosis unpleasant smell, he goes and lim residents do not think I could survive.

Intermediate BS.ThS Nguyen, Faculty of active treatment (Institute of Tropical Diseases country) said patients were severe sepsis, was hospitalized in a state of blood pressure has dropped, the money shock. "Must be hard for us to grab back the lives of patients with death, because an infection is too severe. So far, though drama of danger, but the skin necrosis on the patient is still very clear, the skin is immature and will again, "said BS level.

But Le Van Duc patients (35 years old in Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh Province) were a form other diseases that cause swine streptococcus infections: meningitis. This patient did not remember the history of contact with pigs, but he still regularly processed pig meat.

The patient also manifested the disease in Germany since Tuesday 13 / 4, with expression headache, vomiting, but many people do not appear on the red. After 5 days of headache, vomiting last he entered the hospital treatment of Bac Ninh Province. Two days of treatment at provincial hospitals do not help, the patient was transferred directly to the Institute for Tropical Diseases and the National confirmed meningitis caused by Streptococcus pigs.

When detecting danger pork sick, sick, dying, then it is best not to eat.

We listened to many people as blue ear pig disease, swine Streptococcus disease does not dare to eat pork. In fact, when meat is cooked, the bacteria completely destroyed.

Thing to note is be careful when processing of pork: It should use plastic gloves when washing, cut meat.

BS level, said this is normal bacteria living in some pigs throat without causing disease. But when pigs infected with blue ear virus, the immune health decline that streptococcus bacteria thrive, causing pneumonia, blood infections for pigs.

Meanwhile, farmers find themselves sick pigs have expressed a hurry to sell meat. Therefore, it is difficult to recognize the pig meat pneumonia, septicemia caused by streptococcus bacteria, the pig skin did not show signs of hemorrhage.

When the pigs slaughtered this disease, or go without proper disposal, then the meat before cooking, even many who do not know the patient should still eat pork products from pigs as fresh details farming, pig hearts, nem paste ... then the body will absorb a large amount of streptococcus bacteria that live pigs. Especially on the background of patients such as diabetes, liver failure, alcoholism ... the swine streptococcus bacteria cause disease more likely.

According to the BS level, usually pig Streptococcus infections occur year round, any time. But the "seasonal" service, the number of blue ear pig disease streptococcus swine more, so some people have the disease as "prosperity" in ear diseases outbreaks. When pigs infected swine streptococcus bacteria, the bacteria are no longer localized in the throat raw anymore, but it attacks the organs to other organs, such as eating meat causes the pigs were manifested disease, the risk will be higher than the children carry the virus but not yet manifested the disease.

Can still re-infection

BS level, said swine Streptococcus disease in humans is often one of three possible: meningitis may like the other latex meningitis, septicemia, and can be 3 is a combination of both.

Depending on the disease that infected patients may have different manifestations. As with meningitis, patients may fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness perception gradually lead to coma. If infected blood, the sudden high fever, a severe infection, can quickly hypotension, shock. Often local people with weak body prone to infections than blood and can be very dangerous disease, rapid progression into easy-tainted body organs causing more deterioration and expression characteristic appearance of the necrosis skin.


The necrosis on the hands and legs of his new hours will gradually back (Photo: H. Hai)
Significant danger from exposure, disease eating pork, time-onset disease is very fast. At the Institute of national tropical disease has been recognized disease patients started fast, just 16 hours after eating sick pigs.

"This disease is easily spread through the nature of gastrointestinal (eating pork, nem Welcome, blood pudding was not cooked), but also spread through contact. Therefore, the risk of infection comes from processing, behavior, rinse pork (because limbs can not detect the rubbing scratches and swine streptococcus bacteria can enter the body through the traces of this trauma.) Virtually all patients infected with this disease are exposed to pigs, "said BS level.

Add a point to note is that once infected swine streptococcus bacteria, patients can still get completely back later. Because the disease is the same as normal streptococcus infection, leaving no lasting immunity to the body.http://dantri.com.vn/c7/s7-393369/mu...-khuan-lon.htm

The bleeding wound on the skin, the typical symptoms of shock caused by swine streptococcus infections - Photo: Ngoc Minh

Doctor Nguyen Hong Ha, Deputy Director of Central Hospital of Tropical Diseases - the treatment for his Army, the Army or the patient was lucky not having anything sequelae, while many patients with meningitis caused by streptococcus Common sequelae pigs horizontal welcome. Hospital patients have a shock, three cases of meningitis caused by streptococcus swine.

50% with meningitis

Also at the Tropical Disease Hospital, despite undergoing treatment for more than half months but Nguyen Van Thuong (in Pho Yen, Thai Nguyen) is still weak. His two feet thick tube purple black spots were peeling, revealing skin. According to his house and Commerce, about 20 days ago he bought his family's pigs to eat, in the process of minced meat in his hands scratched. About three days after Prime pigs eat, he usually high fever, drowsiness, skin patches known bleeding and bruising. After three days of treatment in the locality, he was transferred to the Tropical Disease Hospital.

Dr Hong Ha, the disease caused by swine streptococcus is a common pneumonia, septicemia, arthritis, endocarditis ... Streptococcus bacteria reside in the throat pig, as pigs having more diseases such as blue ear disease, streptococcus bacteria will spread that pigs infected with a disease "opportunity." People use pork undercooked green ear, eat pork blood pudding or pig cord blood or fluid into the scratches on the skin will become infected with streptococcus.

Dr Hong Ha, the two most common diseases caused by streptococcus bacteria that causes a shock (such as patients and Trade) and meningitis (such as military patients). Ha said that doctors had previously caused many causes of meningitis, but a recent shift to 50% of meningitis caused by streptococcus bacteria. How easy to distinguish disease caused by swine streptococcus with dengue fever (along with hemorrhagic manifestations in the skin) is the hemorrhagic fever with hemorrhagic spots on the skin appear tiny, but the disease is caused by streptococcus skin hemorrhage dense cloud, especially in the legs, back, chest ...

Disease may appear after 16 hours

Dr. Nguyen Trung level (Department of positive treatment Tropical Disease Hospital), patients may appear high fever, headache, drowsiness or vomiting after 16 hours of eating undercooked meat or infected infection through abrasions on skin scales. The later case can be infected three days after symptoms appear. People living in the area are blue ear pig, is the expression above should go to hospital to be diagnosed early and appropriate treatment.

Dr. Grant, many patients treated swine streptococcus infections in this hospital is the party, more ill after eating soup. "Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has banned blood pudding and then, but people still do and eat!

Dr. Nguyen Van Kinh of the National Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases said four people suffering from blue ear pig disease come from northern provinces where the disease is spreading at an alarming rate, sending the government scrambling to adopt counter-measures.
Of four patients, two were taken to the hospital in serious condition and had to use breathing machine, said Dr. Kinh, adding that people usually contracting a Streptococcus suis bacterium, a pathogen with serious economic effects on the pig industry worldwide, only when the blue ear disease attacks pigs in the region.
Dr. Kinh fretted as the hospital receives daily admission of 1-2 people contracting a bacterium called Streptococcus suis with the same symptoms. He warned people not to butcher and eat diseased pigs.
Infected patients have experienced nausea, fever, vomiting and bleeding under the skin. Just because such symptoms are like normal flu, patients often buy anti-flu drug to treat themselves at homes. They are hence taken to medical facilities late which sometimes could cost their lives.http://english.vietnamnet.vn/social/...terium-907257/
